How to do unit movement like this: When a unit enters a region he is commanded to go to the next region (Just like an AoS uses this system) and when all enemies on the battlefield are defeated they carry to the enemy encampment.

The problem is i dunno how i make them advance when all units are dead, and the units keep walking back ! >.<

  • Unit Movement
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters MoveRegion
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player_Team1
    • Actions
      • Set loc1 = (Center of Team2Encampment)
      • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To loc1
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_loc1 )
This is the trigger I use.
-MoveRegion is the region where you want the units to move to when you first spawn them. Usually I put this region where both teams would intersect.
-Player_Team1 is the owner of the units spawner
-loc1 is just a Point variable to store the location.
-Team2Encampment is the region where you want the unit to attack-move to.

Ok i've figured out how to get them walking without walking back every time. But now they still walk back at the end. and when the fight in the middle is finished (For example all peasants finished of the acolytes) they also walk back, how to make them walk forward to the enemy encampment? Can you do it with checking something with a variable? =/

You must have made a mistake in your triggers. Copy paste your triggers here, that would help.
When a unit stands at PointA and you order your unit to attack move to PointB there is no way that unit will go back to PointA unless you ordered it to patrol instead of attack move, or you ordered it to move back to PointA. You must have made a mistake you are not aware of in the code. Double check it and if you don't find it post your triggers so we can check it for you.

I think you've understood me wrong.

The waypoints are working and the units are walking the right way and don't walk back. But at the end both unit streams will collide and battle eachother.

And here comes the problem, when one of the two teams won they walk back automatically. What to do to make them advance further into the enemy camp?

Quite simple solution is to change their player to anything but neutral hostile.

Neutral hostile units have a leash range which cause them to walk back.
